Reset the password of the homegroup?
I just did a few upgrades (no change to HDs), C: formatted, installed Win 7 Home Premium, but ignored (or so I thought) homegroup Setup during the installation of Win 7. I have 4 HD, no RAID currently. I went to setup Homegroup and I "Tell me more about..., change the advanced sharing... and start the HomeGroup trouble..., as wel as join or cancel." No option to create a new group of residential or change the password. I have a laptop and a desktop on this residential group and I tried to use passwords of these on my main desktop and it doesn't work. I want to reset the password or create a new homegroup?
Thank you!
Rosh76,
There are a lot of good information on this link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Why-cant-I-create-a-homegroup
I would like to point out the first step of troubleshooting on this page which is 'a homegroup already exists on the network. If a homegroup already exists, you will be asked to join. "I think that's what you see. If all your computers on the network have not left the old homegroup, you will not be able to create a new.
The following link teaches how to leave a homegroup: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Leave-a-homegroup
Hope this helps!

I don't get the email to reset my password - what now?
If one day I can't access my Thunderbird account without signing in. I couldn't me remember my user name or password so I returned my email address to get a message asking me how re - set.

No email provider will send you any reset password or even instructions on how to reset your password send by e-mail.
Simple logic says that if you have password problems you cannot open this e-mail.Access your email providers web page mail and see if you can connect it. If you can then you have something else causes the error of password as incorrect server settings.
If it doesn't then look for a link reset the password.Page to reset a password forgotten help most if not all providers have a link on their email. You need to go you or your provider e-mail for assistance.

I recently had to "Refresh" my computer and redownload firefox. I couldn't remember my password firefox sync, so I reset it. Then, once he said that it is synchronized, nothing happened. I checked the forums and apparently there is a danger of information being deleted on a password reset, but I see no warning of this at all when I reset the password. Is it possible possible to recover my favorites? I've had hundreds, and many have been for academic work, I worked to years. Thanks for any assistance, you may be able to provide.
When you reset the password of the account synchronization, and then it has deleted all data on the server, because the synchronization used internal key that is used to encrypt/decrypt data is generated from the password of the key of the synchronization.

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- Under Windows, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
- Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .
